Chelsea And Manchester United Linked Marco Verratti Not Angling For Transfer

Manchester United and Chelsea linked midfielder Marco Verratti has revealed that he has no desire to leave Paris Saint-Germain, in spite of claims from his agent that he could depart.

Verratti's agent Donato Di Campli had said before Tuesday's meeting with Barcelona that his client might think of leaving the club if they look unlikely to be able to win the Champions League going forward.

Following the agent's comments, the French champions thrashed Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg of their last 16 tie, thus taking a big leap towards reaching the quarter-finals of the tournament.

Post the match, the Italian international, who signed a five-year contract with PSG last August, dismissed his agent's claim saying that he has no desire to part ways with the club.

Though he believes hearing about interest from big clubs is good, Verratti said that he delighted to be part of a "great project" and wants to help PSG become one of the top three teams in Europe.
